One of the most well-known constructs of psychoanalytic theory is that of an interactive system comprising the human personality. The instinctual and biological drives of the psyche are referred to as the id; the critical, moralizing function is the superego; and the organized, realistic part that mediates and seeks a balance between the former two is known as the ego. The id, the ego, and the superego are used to describe the structural model of the personality that drives and guides one’s functions and behavior. This concept is also the foundation for many other major constructs in psychoanalysis (Pigman, 2014).
